3, 8, 11 and 17 for the violence ask game for any fandom you want :)
I've been thinking about the Hannibal Lecter tetralogy again, so that's what I'm gonna go with I guess.
3 – screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr
Do I have to name just one specific example? Bc I've seen a lot but sadly have saved none of them. Oh well, for lack of a better answer: many of the takes I see about the NBC show are absolutely rancid, especially concerning Hannibal Lecter as a fictional character, because like…have you guys ever read the source material?? Or watched the original films?
And now that the show has dramatically overshadowed the books and Anthony Hopkins films, it's all you ever see, it influences everyone's opinion about what OG Hannibal is like as a character and the bad takes you see get old pretty fast.
8 – common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
The ongoing gag about how Hannibal would eat some rando just because they were rude to him (like if they shoved him in the store checkout line or were homophobic to him while drawing his blood), which is again largely influenced by how the NBC show depicted him.
Like yes, he's extremely petty and has demonstrated as much on multiple occasions, but he's not that petty. He's much more careful and calculating than they give him credit for, taking the time to vet the perfect person for whom absolutely nobody would mourn the death or disappearance of and wouldn't be able to tie directly to Hannibal or his other victims. Usually one of his difficult patients, or someone who's seriously gone out of their way to ruin others' lives or harm people he cares about. He doesn't go shopping for victims, he waits for fate to bring them to him.
Then again, it can be difficult for me to tell if they're actually seriously interpreting him this way or are just being facetious because of fandom brainrot.
11 – number of fandom-related words you've filtered
Well over 50 of them, just based on a quick glance through my blacklist. Approximately 12 of these are related to Hannibal in some way.
17 – there should be more of this type of fic/art
More art and fics of book!Hannibal or Hopkins!Hannibal. Actually, more art and fics based on the books or movies in general. The more niche and zany the scenarios the better! Also wish that there was more of an audience for Barney Matthews/Hannibal Lecter content bc it's my favourite rarepair/non-canon ship.
